It’s about a Missouri farmer turned feared gunfighter during the American Civil War. Our TV movie pick for tonight (Tuesday, 21 May) is The Outlaw Josey Wale s, the ’70s revisionist Western directed by and starring Clint Eastwood . In the film, he plays Josey Wales – a Missouri farmer turned feared gunfighter following the murder of his family during the American Civil War.
Eventually becoming an outlaw, Wales is pursued by bounty hunters and soldiers as he tries to make a new life for himself. A hit at the box office and with critics thanks to Eastwood’s tough performance, the movie’s epic scope and its anti-war themes, The Outlaw Josey Wales is now considered as being among its star’s best Westerns.
